No, you can dye the cloth itself before laying it. Adding tint to the resin will just result in a tinted color on everything. Carbon fiber is real easy to use, you just have to be very precise. Remember that the look you are going for is the carbon itself, where with fiberglass you will be primering and painting it. If you want a good surface, everything has to be smooth before you apply it, and you need to use mylar and a gelcoat to make it perfectly smooth. You don't have much room for error. If you want something to look really nice, make a two part mold for the part, and press the gelcoat over the CF mat. Again, it just has to be perfect to come out perfect.
